Since high school, I have done a lot of moving around, gone through a lot of growth, and learned a lot. Since I turned 18, I have come out, moved towns, moved states, redeveloped relationships with family, grown relationships out of thin air with new and amazing people, I’ve attended college, dropped out of college, and re-attended college at a new university, and much more. Lots and lots has changed, I have changed, my outward appearance has changed, and then again I am still me, I am still in this body, my face is my face my mind is my mind and though circumstance, location, and times have changed, and though I have changed, I am the same, and I am different. My identity still belongs with me, and I feel more in tune with who I am and who I want to be. I hope in a year I can say that looking back a year reminds me of all the growing and learning I’ve done. This photo is actually 4 photos overlayed of myself at around the same time each year for the past 4 years, showing what visibly has changed and what hasn’t with me, as well as words describing the emotional and spiritual processes at hand throughout my first 4 years of adulthood.
